Amaro Averna Ingredients

Method

Amaro Averna Preparation Directions

1

Infuse the Alcohol

In a large glass jar, combine the dried herbs, citrus peels, and spices. Pour the neutral grain spirit or vodka over the mixture. Seal the jar tightly and shake gently to combine.

2

Let It Sit

Allow the mixture to infuse in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks. Shake the jar gently every few days to help the infusion process.

3

Prepare the Simple Syrup

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool.

4

Strain the Mixture

After 2 weeks, strain the infused alcohol through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean container to remove the solids.

5

Combine and Bottle

Mix the strained infused alcohol with the prepared simple syrup. Add the scraped vanilla bean and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture into bottles and seal tightly.

6

Age the Amaro

For optimal flavor, let the bottled Amaro Averna age for an additional 1-2 weeks before using.
